We're rows 5 & 6 of D. Around seats 7-11.

Most of them don't know the older cheers (I loved the Bâby song), but hopefully we can get some new ones.

Ahh, the Bâby song. How I miss thee... Well, and Bâby too...

I tried the "Hey Brown, it's 9pm, do you know where your goalie is?" But people looked at me perplexed....

The photo that accompanies the article shows a couple people wearing "Puck Harvard" shirts, but I don't see any F-bombs. I suspect the Crimson *cough* journalist *cough* is bending the truth (it's not really presented as a serious peice, anyway).

I'm tempted to pull a Volonnino on him, but his comments about the Hotel School aren't too out of line. :-P j/k
Is next year here yet?

ok, so is he referring to me and making up a bunch of shit, or is he referring to someone else with eerily similar cheers?

Anybody know if this was the same guy with the Harvard hat in section A/B?  Hope he didn't get his hat back :-D

A-19

since the photo accompanying the article was shot across the ice at A, i assume the photographer, and perhaps the writer were in O. i further assume this since he said he sat with reese's parents, who would definitely be sitting in O.

Sorry, Mike, but this was too funny...

that's amazing age
and i am clearly not wearing a "fuck harvard" t-shirt.

i am actually considering writing a letter to the ed. of the crimson about the journalistic integrity of attributing real quotes to a made up individual in order to stereotype cornell students. but i will only do this if i am able to ascertain that nobody out there was the actual fan upon whose comments the article was based. my comments were damn close, though my words were twisted for the writer's own purposes.

Keep in mind that this was a column, not a news story.  The guy's telling a story about being at Fish'n'Fowl, not doing investigative reporting with the hopes of ratting out folks to Gene Nighman. So I think he probably deserves some slack, even if he did twist some words a bit (which I'd bet he did).

I was in the front row of O (sucks) for the Brown game, and you were the loudest fan I've ever heard at any sporting event anywhere. I thought as a section we were pretty good considering what you usually get from Section O (sucks). You had some woman behind me peeing her pants.

Thanks for picking up my Kill Schafer Kill chant at the end of period 2 when he was "negotiating" with Hansen the Horrible. I couldn't say what I really wanted to say... Small children present.

I talked with a couple other Harvard people who were sitting with Reese's parents, but I don't know that they'd be the missing piece to the mystery.  They were there with their daughter, whom I believe is a Cornell student and may be dating Reese (I think that's what they said).  Didn't really notice who was sitting on the other side of the Reeses, or behind them.

BTW, what exactly did the article say?  Is it in another post in this thread that I missed?  Is it in the online Crimson?

And no, there were no F--- Harvard shirts anywhere that I saw.  Lot's of Puck Harvard and Harvard Sucks, but no F-word.

OK, just found the article online.  It's full of inaccuracies and misquotes.  I have some ideas about where his journalistic career may be heading, but I'll be polite and keep them to myself for now.
